I am about to be a mother again!!!

I just ordered a package of bees from Sacramento Beekeeping Supply to be picked up on Saturday. I am very excited as I have been sort of bummed out by my laying worker hive.

since I had to put this site together rather quickly it is not as pretty as the other beehives. Oh well, the bees don't care. I will take a photo after I hive them on Saturday.

I just layed down bricks and will use sand to level the whole thing.  A friend from work is giving me back 10 frames of drawn out wax combs for a full deep super. (I had previously given those wax combs to him to start a hive, but he changed his mind) I will cut them down to medium size and the package bees will get a good jump start on the new hive.

I am going to start the first brood box on starter strips, as I do not have the time to get over to Woodland to Mann Lake to purchase the PF 120's. I hope they do OK on just the starter strips. I will place a few drawn combs in between the starter strips.

Take care and thanks for listening.
